Miyabi Morimoto Edition Fusion Chef's Knife 8 Inch

Love the product. Great balance. Super sharp!! Be careful!

I bought this knife a year ago for sushi training. And I still love it ! Everyone told me the design looks cool and it's super sharp, easy to use. Knife is so light it's perfect for my lil hands. Handles are also super comfortable to hold for long time !

Splurge and get yourself this knife. You won’t be disappointment.

I'm a toolmaker/engineer among other things- this, even at the 'low' end of the Miyabi knives- is so nice to use. I admit i'm mostly drawn by the Damascus metal patterning, but it cuts so well. I have several other Miyabi knives- this I use the most. One really good knife. Second favorite is a hand sharpened cheap Marshall Fields SS cleaver- I love the thin wide blades.If Miyabi would make the a habana knife with extra height- like a cleaver, and a slightly curved edge, about 7 inches long- this would be truly the best knife imaginable.

Brilliant knife. I work in a professional kitchen and this knife is a perfect mid weight tool for brunoise onions, carrots, peppers, and celery. I have larger hands and some knives do not fit in my hand comfortably. This knife is the perfect size. My wife has smaller hands, but also feels comfortable using the Miyabi.I have had mine for a couple of weeks now, but have used this knife for several months in a professional kitchen.Out of the box it was viciously sharp, and this has been very easy to maintain using a steel even after processing hundreds of pounds of vegetables and other foods. The balance fore and aft is absolutely perfect, which makes it feel like a natural extension of my hand.I want to note that this knife would not be good for very heavy duty chopping or cutting through bone. It is not as delicate as a sushi blade, and not as heavy as a thick cleaver. I find it just right for general kitchen use, and I use it for about 90% of my cutting tasks at home and at work. Keep in mind that this is not a dishwasher safe tool, and will require you to keep it clean and store it dry. I find providing this kind of TLC is a labor of love which keeps me focused on the art and craft of my work. Very highly recommended.
